A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 724

If Calista remembered correctly, Jack was supposed to be left crippled by Shawn that summer. Yet here he was, standing before her, seemingly unaffected.

It seemed like he had nine lives.

The only logical explanation? He'd spent the last few years patching himself up before crawling to Alnewgo for some dead-end job.

She never bought the idea that Jack could get into a university here. What did he have besides a knack for street brawls?

No, she pictured him hauling bricks at some construction site, the kind of loser who'd never climb out of the gutter.

After failing her college entrance exams, Calista hadn't continued her education. But her circumstances were far beyond what an ordinary person like Jack could compare to.

Shawn had played her and tossed her aside, but she knew she was meant for more.

After the breakup, she came to Alnewgo.

Initially, factory work was all she could find. But with her looks, it wasn't long before someone steered her to a bar gig. There, she met Christopher, a crew-cut man with a commanding presence who drove a Prado.

He was the real deal—a former enforcer for a gang boss called Victor. He now ran his own underground empire—gambling dens, loan sharking, the works.

After getting together with Christopher, her life in Alnewgo took a turn for the better. At the very least, she no longer had to work the factory line or serve drinks at a bar.

The daily routine of being picked up in a Prado gave her a thrill. The constant respect from the lackeys only added to the ego boost.

So, when she spotted Jack today, the contempt in her eyes was hard to miss. She thought to herself that a nobody would always be a nobody, never amounting to anything in life.

The man with the buzz cut, Wallace Fowler, and Calista entered the bar.

Feena, her voice sharp with annoyance, confronted the head parking attendant about the recent situation.

"Didn't you just say there were no spaces? So how come they got one?" she demanded.

The attendant gave her a blank stare, as if she were an idiot, and didn't even bother to respond.

"Don't they even know what kind of place this is?" he thought. "Rolling up in that beat-up piece of junk—are they out of their damn minds?"
